You should really either convince your host to update or change to one that keeps up to date, here is a workaround but it's not a solution. You will probably face more and more problems for each update. This is also a security issue so use at your own risk.

Thanks Scar, I have 4.4.9 and someone did mention that I should have version 5. Luckily this is just a practice or test site, but that is why I have it, to make sure everything works. So when I speak to go-daddy, I should ask them about getting php 5?
